On October 20, 2010, around 8:40pm, police, fire and ambulance personnel in Dauphin were called to a house fire on 7th Avenue S.W. in Dauphin.
The home was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived on scene. None of the occupants were at home when the fire was started. An investigation into the fire by the Dauphin RCMP and the Office of the Fire Commissioner has determined that the fire was deliberately set.
On October 21 in the afternoon, officers from the Dauphin and Grandview RCMP detachments attended at a home in Ochre River, Manitoba and arrested a suspect.
24-year-old Sheldon Benny Lawrence Chartrand from Millet, Alberta, has been charged with arson and breach of probation and is to appear in Dauphin Court.
The investigation continues.
